Opening day for minor league baseball

was yesterday. It was Malcolm's first game in the minors. We were a little apprehensive since nearly half of their practices have been rained out this month. We were even a little afraid that the game would be rained out, but the storms passed quickly and we had enough dry hours to squeeze in the game. Lincoln and I had to leave halfway through the 3rd inning to go to his soccer game, but when we left, the Pirates were doing pretty well. Malcolm was on third base and had sucessfully stolen two bases in his 2 times at bat. We learned later that the Pirates won, 7-5. Best of all, get this....Malcolm was the one who put them over the top. In his last at bat, he hit a double and had 2 RBIs which counted as runs 6 and 7 (aka the winning runs!). Nice way to start the season.
